If an individual requests confidentiality when reporting, UIC will
take all reasonable steps to honor the request, taking into account
that confidentiality may not be possible in every case given UIC’s
responsibility to provide a safe environment for all members of the UIC
community.
RESPECT FOR PRIVACY
Information regarding sexual misconduct reports and investigations,
including any outcomes, will be shared with UIC employees with a
legitimate educational interest or with external individuals or entities
only on a need-to-know basis and only as permitted under UIC policy
and applicable law.
Applicable statistics of reported Dating Violence, Domestic Violence Sexual Assault, and Stalking will be included in the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.
